Replication, in which new copies of DNA are made; transcription, in which a segment of DNA is used to produce RNA; and translation, in which the information in RNA is translated into a protein sequence.
The primary function of DNA is to store and transmit genetic information that determines an organism's traits and characteristics. It serves as the instructions for building and maintaining an organism's cells and tissues.
The two functions of DNA are to store genetic information and transmit/express genetic information
To store genetic information and transmit/express information
Nucleic acids are carbon compounds that store and transmit genetic information. They include:Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)Ribonucleic acid (messenger,transfer) (RNA)proteins (in the case of prions)carbon hydrates
During interphase, DNA is replicated. This process ensures that each cell will have a complete set of genetic information before cell division occurs.
The double helix structure of DNA is significant because it allows for the molecule to store and transmit genetic information in a stable and efficient manner. The twisted ladder shape of the double helix provides a protective housing for the genetic code, ensuring that it is accurately replicated and passed on to future generations. This structure also allows for easy access to the genetic information when needed for processes such as protein synthesis.

DNA is replicated during interphase before mitosis to ensure that each new cell receives a complete set of genetic information. This process helps maintain genetic stability and allows for accurate cell division.
The main purpose of nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, is to store and transmit genetic information within cells. They carry instructions for the synthesis of proteins and are essential for the growth, development, and functioning of living organisms.
The Nucleus {nucleolus} carries the genetic information of he cell, also called the DNA.
